Nim (Abigail Breslin), a Robinson Crusoe-ish 11-year-old, cozies up to her island pals â€” a sea lion, a dragon lizard and a pelican (that can carry tools) â€” when her scientist father (Gerard Butler) disappears at sea in â€œNimâ€™s Island.â€

Imaginatively shot, this kids-oriented tale is fun and exciting, but also tackles some heavy emotional issues (terror at the thought of being alone forever) and doesnâ€™t make a heck of a lot of sense â€” not in a logical universe, anyway.

Alexandra also channels Alex, visible as a brash alter ego prodding her to go to Nimâ€™s island and help the kid. Fosterâ€™s comic shtick is funny â€” if you can appreciate agoraphobic humor from a woman whose best friend is imaginary.

Extras: Informative shorts about filming on water and working with animals; deleted scenes (check the undersea-rescue original shot); commentary with filmmakers, Foster and Breslin.

The real thing

During World War II, the Nazis pulled together a group of Jewish printers and inkers, a counterfeiter and other specialists from different concentration camps and set them up in special quarters â€“ good food, linen sheets, fair treatment â€” in one camp to produce British pound notes.

The idea, as explained in â€œThe Counterfeiters,â€ 2007 Oscar-winner for best foreign-language film, was initially to weaken the Alliesâ€™ economy, but ultimately to bolster the almost bankrupt German Army. Failure would mean death.

Point man on the job was Salomon Sorowitsch (Karl Markovics, whose expressions and countenance hold your attention through the slow moments).

A cover blurb calls veteran director Fred Olen Rayâ€™s â€œHollywood Chainsaw Hookersâ€ the â€œfourth greatest B-movie of all time.â€ Makes you wonder what the top three are.

No matter. This grindhouse staple â€” â€œgrindhouseâ€ meaning made quickly and on the cheap, and often packed with nudity, sex and violence â€” will be best appreciated by fans of the genre or the midnight-movie crowd.

A typewriting private eye (Jay Richardson), who narrates in a noir style approaching parody, bumps into a group of chainsaw-wielding prostitutes hooked into an Egyptian cult run by the guy who played Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen) in â€œThe Texas Chain Saw Massacre.â€

Thereâ€™s the requisite disrobing, blood and gruesomeness, plus many dead spots. The actingâ€™s about what youâ€™d expect.

Extras: Include directorâ€™s commentary and â€œNite Owl Theaterâ€ episodes, but do you really care?
